LAMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 406,983, dated July 16, 1889.

Application filed June 4, 1888. Serial No. 276,036. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALLEVI ANNIBALE, of Chicago, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamps, of which the following is a specification.

In the drawings I have shown a lamp containin g my invention.

Figure 1 of the drawings is an elevation of the lamp. Fig. 2 is a vertical section. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the burners and attachments, taken at right angles to the plane of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a bottom View of the burners. Figs. 5, 6, and 7 are details. Fig. 8 is an enlarged vertical section; and Fig. 9 is a horizontal section on cc :,Fig. 8, showing the wick-raising drum and means of operating it.

In the several figures, 1 is the base, mounted on casters 2.

3 is a hollow standard rising from the base.

4 is a screw in the standard 3, and also secured to the base.

5 is a hollow standard, which fits in the standard 3, so as to slide in it up and down.

6 is a nut secured in the lower end of standard 5 and fitting on screw 4, so that when standard 5 is turned the nut will also turn and travel up and down the screw, thus raisin g and lowering the standard.

7 is a reservoir supported on the upper end of standard 5, and which in its turn supports the burner.

8 is an upper reservoir in the form of an annulus, supported in a suitable manner above the reservoir 7.

9 is a small pump operated by a handle 10, and arranged so as to force oil through pipe 11 from reservoir 7 into the upper reservoir 8.

12 is the union by which the upper and lower parts of pipe 11 may be separated when the lamp is taken apart.

13 is the ring which supports the chimney and forms its base. As shown, it may be set with colored glasses 14, which I call jewels.

15 is a sleeve fitting loosely on the standard 3, so that it can slide thereon, and provided with a set-screw, by which it can be fixed in any desired position.

16 are rods secured at their upper ends to the ring or chimney-base 13 and curved in an ornamental manner around the reservoir 7, passing through cars 17, attached to the upper end of standard 5, and also through cars 18 on the sleeve 15. By taking hold of these rods and moving them horizontally the body of the lamp is turned, and at the same time raised and lowered by the action of screw 4 and nut 6.

For lighting the lamp the rod 16 may be moved vertically, sliding through ears 17 and raising the chimney and exposing the burners. The rods are fixed in the cars 18 by means of set-screws 19.

As already stated, the upper reservoir 8 is in the form of a ring or annulus. In its center are arranged a series of annular burners, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. A pipe 20 extends at the bottom of reservoir 8 from one side to the other. This pipe or tube is connected with the burners by short tubes 21, extending from it into the wick-space, so that burningfluid is supplied from the reservoir 8 through this pipe 20 and tubes 21 to the wicks. The annular burners are arranged one within the other, the outer one 22 being the shortest, the next one 23 a little longer, 24: a little longer than 23, and so on, the inner one 25 being the longest. lVhen in use, air is supplied to the flame through the spaces between these burners or wick-tubes.

26 is a shield supported on reservoir 8 and formed, as shown, to deflect the air which rises through space 27 onto the flame which rises from the wick in burner 22.

28 is a shield for deflecting the air which rises through space 29 onto the flame from burner 23. Shield 28 is supported upon a head 30 on the outer surface of burnertubc 23 by means of a flange which fits closely around said burner. The flange is perforated, as shown, to permit air to pass through to the flame. The outer edge of this flange is curved upward and outward over burner 22, so as to throw the flame of said burner outward. 31 and 32 are similar shields similarly supported from burners 24 and 25, deflecting air onto their flames, and deflecting flames from burncrs 23 and 24, respectively.

33 is a central deflector, supported from a suitable bridge in the central space 011 the inside of burner 25 and acting to throw its flame outward. The combined action of these several burners thus arranged is to give'a conical flame of great power, giving an intense light, and adapted also for heating purposes. WVhen used for lighting purposes, I employ a chimney composed of mica sup ported by a metal frame. WVhen used for heating, the mica chimney may be removed and a similarly-formed drum of Russia iron or other metal substituted for it. Thisdrum, which I have shown in Fig. '7, may be provided with a peep-hole 35, glazed with mica, as shown.

Theannular wicks in the Wick-tubes or 42 is a long screw, whose upper end is rotatably secured to bar 39 by means of a groove and set-screw, as shown in Fig. 5. Screw 42 is tapped through the horizontal portion of stirrup 41., so that when it is turned it moves up or down, as the case may be, carrying. bar 39 with it, and raising or lowering the wicks by means of rods 37.

43 is a drum attached to the lower end 0 screw 42 and large enough to pass over stirrup 41.

44 is a pulley with a milled edge mounted on a short stud 45 on the top of reservoir 7, and 46 is a chain which passes around pulley 44 and once or twice around drum 43. turning pulley 44, which is easily done on account of its milled edge, drum 43.is revolved and turns screw 42 with it, and thus raises and screw 48 permits the attachment and removal of the handle.

The bar 3!) extends through a x stirrup 41, which depends from tube 20.

WVhat I claim is- 1. The combination, substantially as set forth, of annularburners or wick-tubes arranged one within the other and having spaces between them for the passage of air, with the flame and air deflectors, as 28, 31, and 32, the base of each air-deflector constituting a button or flame-deflector to turn the flame of the next surrounding burner outward.

2. The combination, substantially as set forth,-of an annular reservoir for burningfluid and a series of burners arranged one within the other in the central space of said reservoir and in communication therewith, each of said burners drawing its supply of fluid from said annular reservoir.

The combination, substantially as set forth, of the annular reservoir for containing burning-fluid, the pipe 20, extending across the lower part thereof, the annular burners in the central space of the reservoir above the pipe 20, and the tubes 21, connecting said pipe with each of the burners.

4. The combination, substantially as set forth, of the burners or wick-tubes arranged one within the other, the wick-supporting rings, as 36, within said burner-tubes, the

. rods extending downward from said rings, and

the bar 39,for raising and lowering the wicks.

5. The combination, substantially as set forth, of the annular burners or wick-tubes, the Wick-supporting rings, therods extending downward therefrom, bar 39, the drum 43, and

the pulley and chain for actuating the said drum to raise and lower the wicks.

(3. The combination, substantially as set forth, of two reservoirs for burning-fluid, arranged one above the other, the upper reservoir being annular in form and supplied with fluid from the lower one, a pump for. forcing fluid from the lower to the upper reservoir,

and a series of annular burners arranged within the central space of said annular reservoir and each taking its supply of fluid therefrom.
